Artificial Intelligence is set to significantly enhance weather forecasting in Bihar, enabling agencies to predict cyclones and severe storms up to 15 days in advance. The initiative is being developed through a collaboration between the Space Applications Centre of ISRO and the Bihar Mausam Sewa Kendra (BMSK), focusing on improving disaster prediction and management.

Officials stated that AI-driven analysis combined with satellite data will help generate early warnings for natural disasters such as floods, lightning, heatwaves, and storms. This advancement is expected to strengthen preparedness, allowing authorities and citizens to take timely preventive measures.

The technology will also assist in managing large gatherings, including festivals like Chhath Puja, through better crowd monitoring and safety planning. Additionally, satellite-based insights will support air quality monitoring and environmental assessment. Experts believe this initiative will play a crucial role in minimizing damage, enhancing response strategies, and improving overall disaster resilience across Bihar.
